Our Principal Aim - To work together to create a more vibrant, viable and sustainable town centre for Lerwick
Lerwick Town Centre is designated as a Business Improvement District (BID) from 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2026 following a successful renewal ballot in August 2021. Living Lerwick Ltd, a company directed by business owners/managers in the area, will manage the delivery of the projects devised to improve the area. Further details on the projects are within the Business Plan.
In August 2026, member businesses will be invited to vote in a ballot to decide whether or not to continue with a fourth term of the Lerwick town centre BID. The renewal timeline can be viewed on our publications page.
